The correct way to open the elf

Chapter 39: Safety depends on your own efforts
After a slight sound, the triangular crossbow arrow hit the edge of the target. Dick skillfully adjusted the aiming device, and the second arrow hit the center of the bull's eye.

Dick patted Feng Yu excitedly again: "Brother, you are amazing. This thing is almost as good as our musket."

The pedal crossbow was very considerate of the height of the short people. Dick found it very comfortable to use, and the force he used when hitting Feng Yu was obviously much stronger.

I treated you as a brother, but you raped me.

Feng Yu hurried over to check the target, thinking that he would have to keep a safe distance from this short guy next time.

The elves also gathered around, and they heard Anthony say that this was designed for the elves.

An elf archer took the bow from Dick, bent down, strung the bowstring, and shot an arrow through the aiming mechanism without any instruction. The arrow hit the target, but missed the center of the bull's eye.

Feng Yu watched the elf shoot an arrow into the target, and thought that the elf had a good foundation after all, and his ability to shoot the arrow into the target was really good.

"Sage, this thing called a treadle crossbow is not as useful as our longbow. Although it saves some effort, its effective range is very low and will never exceed fifty meters. Beyond this distance, the trajectory of the crossbow arrow will be disrupted."

The elf archer who was reporting to Anthony saw Feng Yu looking at him, and he did not hold back his words, saying, "You have to bend over when you draw the bow, which is very uncomfortable and not conducive to observing the enemy.

I think you should increase the length of the bow arm and the crossbow body, so that the power can be greater and you don't have to bend over to string the crossbow.

Also, why is the arrowhead of this crossbow designed in this shape? This shape is not conducive to the arrow maintaining balance during flight. "

Feng Yu was not angry. He happily took the crossbow without stringing it. He glanced at the elf and said, "Such arrows are easy to make. They can be hammered into one with a few hammers. You don't even need to polish them. Just grind the tip of the arrowhead.

Moreover... if an arrow of this shape is shot into the flesh, the unlucky person who is hit by the arrow will be doomed, because this triangular wound is difficult to heal, and even if the arrow is not pulled out, the blood will continue to flow."

After Feng Yu finished speaking, everyone present stopped what they were doing. Looking at the arrowhead of the crossbow in Feng Yu's other hand, they felt a chill in their hearts.

The fighters present imagined the wounds caused by this triangular arrowhead and were horrified at the viciousness of the arrowhead designed by Feng Yu.

The elf archer was stunned and stared at Feng Yu in a daze. After a while, he said, "But this can't guarantee accuracy and penetration, right?!"

Feng Yu put down the crossbow and nodded: "That's right, but I don't plan to let this thing shoot very far."

He looked at Anthony and said, "This is designed for halflings, so it is not suitable for elves. If the elves want to use it, they can find a craftsman to make a tread crossbow suitable for you based on this design.

The half-humans have little fighting power, but this tread crossbow is easy to use and can become a good fighting force after a little training. You can forget about shooting against professional archers, but it is no problem to defend against wild beasts.

Equip some to the halfling brothers who are far away from the camp and cannot be taken care of by the elven archers, so that they can protect themselves when working outside. This kind of tread crossbow is still capable of doing the job.

Our hard-working halfling brothers should not be exposed to such dangers."

Feng Yu's words made the eyes of Chief Alan, who came to watch the fun, moist.

The elven archer fell silent.

Feng Yu continued, "If the materials are sufficient, make more and let the half-grown children in the camp learn. Find a few elf archers and hunters to teach them, and take them to hunt around the camp when you have nothing to do.

There are no large herds of animals nearby anyway, so we can add some meat and furs to the camp and let the children learn more skills to save their lives.

Safety cannot be achieved by waiting, we should take the initiative to create a safe living environment.”

Feng Yu was deeply moved by Allen and dragged him out for a drink. When Dick saw that there was a drinking party, he happily followed him.

But they didn't drink too much this time. Allen and Dick knew the ability of their big brother Feng Yu, so they agreed to stop drinking.

During the meal, Allen told Feng Yu about the difficulties faced by halflings, and how even slightly larger beasts would dare to include them in their food list.

Feng Yu also had a lot of feelings about this. After being closed off, the Chinese land was just like the halflings here. Anyone could dare to come up and take a bite.

Alan said that they could not afford the dwarves' muskets, and halflings were not suitable for bows and arrows. With the tread crossbow designed by Feng Yu, he also wanted to pull out a combat-ready team and make the Heimer clan the first fighting tribe among halflings.

Dick patted his chest and said that he would take on the task of making iron structures and arrowheads, but Alan had to brew more wine for the dwarves so that they would have enough energy.

Feng Yu asked Dick if there were a lot of flints that the dwarves used when forging iron. Dick told Feng Yu that there were a lot of them, and that there were flints exposed on the surface to the east of the camp. However, those flints were very dangerous, and many of his tribesmen had died under the flints.

Feng Yu immediately thought of carbon monoxide poisoning and asked Dick.

Only then did he realize that the dwarves already knew that the light blue smoke emitted by flint was poisonous. In order to summarize this rule, the dwarves paid the lives of many of their people, so that they could use flint safely.

After chatting for a while, Feng Yu changed the subject.

There is a shortage of salt in the Green Continent, so where does the salt they eat come from? Feng Yu was very interested in this.

Allen told Feng Yu that the salt in the camp was sent from the broad-leaved forest named Misty Moon Forest, the new home of the elves and halflings. The elves and halflings there exchanged treasures such as honey, magic scrolls, and monster crystal cores with the goblin merchants.

As for the goblin merchants, they were bought from the Eastern Continent and the Human Empire.

The royal family of the Moran Empire, the southern empire of mankind, owns a large natural salt mine full of high-quality table salt. It is precisely because of this that the royal family can maintain a large military force, conquer other great lords in the southern region, and become the ruler of the south.

However, after years of mining, there is not much salt left in the salt mine, so the price of salt has been rising over the years.

As for the Brocade Empire in the north, after they conquered the goblins, they took over the goblin's salt mines near the Meteoric Mountains. However, the goblin's salt mines are of low quality and difficult to mine.

The Eastern Continent is not actually the continent across the sea from the Grien Continent. The goblins are not yet able to cross the vast ocean. The Eastern Continent is the name given to them by the intelligent life in the desert east of the coastline where Feng Yu is currently camping.

It is also a human empire, but the humans there are not the same race as the Green Continent. That empire is called the Golden Empire.

Feng Yu thought to himself that it would be fine if he didn't call him Shurima, as he couldn't afford to offend that emperor.
